PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (CBS) — Dave Magrogan is getting ready to open his 14th restaurant, the second under the “Stella Rosa” name. This one will be at 10th and Walnut in center city, in a location formerly occupied by Marathon Grill and then Square Peg.

“Our job is to sort of warm up the space and really make it a very comfortable, neighborhood Italian restaurant,” Magrogan (top photo) tells What’s Cooking. “Maybe one day you’re getting a chopped salad, one day you’re getting pizza, and one day you’re going for an entrée.”
